Hillier Flips in 'C' Feature in Summer Nationals Opener

MECHANICSBURG, PA (July 19) -- World of Outlaws Kevin Gobrecht
Rookie of the Year contender Chad Hillier's night ended early Thursday
when he flipped in the "C" Feature on opening night of the Cleveland
Brothers Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway.

Hillier, the only driver to win all three sprint car
championships at Skagit Speedway, was trying to pass Craig Keel when
their first-lap collision sent the #5C DIRT Inc. Maxim tumbling
end-over-end.

"We were pretty good in hot laps, but we missed it on the gear
for the part of racetrack I tried to run in qualifying," Hillier said.
"In the heat race, the setup wasn't quite right, but we had the gear
better.

"We were actually pretty good in the 'C.' I was following the
#9 car and he was a little indecisive where he was going. We pitched it
sideways on the top of the racetrack and caught his right rear tire and
went over. It tore the top wing off and pushed the left rear of the car
forward three or four inches, so we're going to have to build a new car.
I'm sure we'll be better with the new car Friday."

The Cleveland Brothers Summer Nationals continues at Williams
Grove Speedway Friday and Saturday. The World of Outlaws will run a
single-program event at Lebanon Valley Speedway in West Lebanon, NY,
Sunday.
